Q            Where do you get your inspiration?
A    Honestly I do not know what source I tap into.  I guess I would say my own experiences in life.
Q            How do your approach your writing? Are more OCD? Plan everything out with outlines and what amounts to storyboards? Or do you just fly by the seat of your pants and work everything out as it comes?

Q            What are you currently working on? Do you have any novels?
A    I'm working on my book, "The Dark Angel."  Which is complete it's just a matter now of converting the book to text so I can submit it for publishing.  I also have a book out of poetry called "A Winter Walk," if you search my name on Amazon.com/Barnes & Noble you'll find it.
Q            Anything else that you would like to say before we end?
A   The only thing I can think is to thank everyone on writerscafe for their support and to thank everyone who has read my work.
